Preheat oven to 350ºF and line an 8-inch x 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Prepare the crust by mixing together all ingredients, forming a ball. Transfer dough into pan and use your hands and/or a spatula to spread to the edges of the pan. The key is to make sure the crust is relatively the same thickness all around, so the spatula comes in handy especially for the edges.
Bake crust for 10 minutes at 350ºF.
While the crust is baking, prepare filling. Whisk 4 eggs in a medium-size bowl and then add the rest of the ingredients. Whisk again until there are no more coconut flour chunks.
Once crust has baked for 10 minutes, remove from oven and pour on filling. Place back in oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.*
Turn the oven off and open the oven door. Allow the lemon bars to come to temperature in the oven for 15 minutes. . A sudden change in temperature can cause cracks in lemon bars.
Remove from oven and let sit on the stove top for 20 minutes before transferring into the fridge. Chill for 2 hours before slicing.
Slice into 9 squares and serve with a sprinkle of organic powdered sugar.

- Make sure to allow the lemon bars to come to room temperature extremely slowly as this will prevent cracking. This is why we recommend cracking the oven door and letting it come to temp this way.
- The bake time for the filling depends on your oven. Keep a close eye on it.
